Re: Call for Nominations — Committee on the Environment, Climate Change, and Sustainability (PDAD&C #3)

Background

The President’s Advisory Committee on the Environment, Climate Change, and Sustainability (CECCS) was created in 2017 with the goals of making sustainability a key component of the University of Toronto identity, achieving international leadership in the integration of operational and academic sustainability, and coordinating sustainability activities across the three campuses. Since then, the Committee has become an important part of the university and has contributed to achievements such as U of T’s recent recognition as the #1 for Sustainability in 2024 according to the QS World University Rankings.  Advances in sustainability at the University of Toronto and the work of the CECCS is made possible through the insights and efforts of sustainability champions and committee members from across all three campuses – and this work is more important and urgent than ever. 

Call for Nominations – Committee on the Environment, Climate Change, and Sustainability

I am seeking nominations for new CECCS members. The CECCS is made up of the following:

  • Seven members of the student community who will also serve on the Student Leadership Subcommittee (undergraduate and graduate)
  • Seven faculty members (from any campus)
  • Seven staff (from any campus)

Members of the University community are invited to submit nominations or expressions of interest to serve on the CECCS by Aug 23, 2024. You may submit nominations on your own behalf or nominate another individual. The submission should demonstrate knowledge of U of T’s sustainability efforts, express an interest in the field, and include a brief CV/résumé.

Additional information on the Committee and its work may be found in the Terms of Reference.
